Arrows rained from the sky.
Under the tortoise-shell formation of the Song Army, the archers of the second team took out the fire sticks from their arms. At the moment when the arrow rain fell, they ignited the special feather arrows held by the archers of the first team. At the same time, they passed the fire sticks in their hands to the third team and took the arrows from their backhand An arrow also wrapped in oilcloth was taken out of the bag.
"Shoot!!" the vanguard general ordered.
A group of archers stood up, drew their bows and fired hard.
I saw a row of blazing arrows rising into the sky with billowing black smoke, the momentum was astonishing!
The second team followed closely behind, and the rocket soared into the sky!
At the top of the city of Sishui Pass, the defenders looked through the narrow gap in their shields and saw billowing black smoke rushing up to the top of the city. The blazing fire did not go out under the energy of the flying arrows, but instead the fire around them became more and more intense!
How could the defenders who witnessed Xu Guandong's eight thousand cavalry retreating into the city in embarrassment not know what these rockets were? They were all panic-stricken.
On the top of the city, Chen Shouren's sword attendant Aqin had a sharp look in his eyes, his energy surged, and he waved his hand to fly away the incoming arrows.
The rockets that flew out flew straight towards the Song army's formation.
"Get away!!" the vanguard general shouted.
The rockets were coming fiercely, and the Song army's shieldmen and archers were arrayed together. Where was the chance to disperse? Seeing the arrows coming, the shield wielder could only defend with his shield in a hurry.
Fortunately, the number of arrows that were rolled back was limited, but despite this, the shields of dozens of shield-bearers were burned to the point of catching fire. What's more, several soldiers were directly ignited by the arrows and screamed. He wanted to take off his armor and run away.
The vanguard general had quick eyes and quick hands. He drew his sword from its sheath and chopped down the few soldiers who seemed to be unable to be saved. He ordered the nearby shield bearers to keep a distance to prevent the black fire from spreading.
Two waves of feather arrows rose into the sky. Even though Aqin shot down nearly a hundred of them, a large number of feather arrows carrying the black fire of the abyss landed on the top of Sishui Pass City.
In the formations of the two armies, there were only a few people wearing iron armor, and the vast majority of the soldiers only wore bamboo armor and cotton armor. But even if it is iron armor, as long as the winter coat is hit by an arrow in the gap in the armor, it will immediately catch fire, let alone bamboo armor and cotton armor?
Sword Attendant Aqin is on the main building at the top of the city. The Sishui Pass defenders in that area suffered less casualties, but other places have been disrupted by these two sudden waves of rockets. Thick smoke can be seen everywhere at the top of the city. Screaming and wailing.
"Push it down, push it down!!"
In a panic, the captain of the archers shouted, trying to push the soldiers who were ignited by the arrows down the Sishui Pass.
The defenders of Sishui Pass were in disarray. At the same time, an arrow hit the tower. The towering tower immediately caught fire, as if there was a sign of a fire!
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!!"
The pioneer general of the Song Army saw the Sishui Pass defenders in chaos and burning soldiers falling from the top of the city. He let out a shrill scream and ordered another wave of arrows.
The bow shook like a thunderbolt.
The archers of the Song Army broke away from the shield hand's cover and drew their bows to shoot hard.
In an instant, three teams of archers took turns shooting, and dense rain of arrows rose into the sky. Even though Sishui Pass stood on stone, looking around, the top of the city was full of dense arrow feathers!
The defenders of Sishui Pass were caught off guard. Shielders and archers were in a mess. Defense and counterattack were disconnected at the same time. Screams could be heard one after another. Corpses were lying on the ground on the top of the city. There were even more than a dozen arrows stuck in the bodies of the soldiers. hedgehog!
"Infantry array, attack the city!" Seeing that the defenders of Sishui Pass were suppressed, Yang Cheng gave the order and prepared to attack the city.
"Archers, shoot me to death!!"
"kill!!--"
The morale of the defenders at Sishui Pass was in great confusion.
Above the sky, Chen Shouren held the red sky in his hand, fighting with Song Zhiwen inextricably. The two of them have performed nearly a hundred tricks since they ascended to heaven. The Dzogchen Dzogchen fighting technique, like the naked eye, cannot capture the figures of the two people at all. All we can see is two majestic sword energies crisscrossing each other, almost cutting off the sky!
Sishuiguan lost power and Chen Shouren was restless. Song Zhiwen seized the opportunity and narrowly won a move. The famous sword Nuanyu intertwined and stabbed Chen Shouren in the arm.
With cultivation in the four realms, he is already a second-rate master in Kyushu.
Such a person, with a murderous intention, has the unstoppable courage of all armies!
"Young sir, don't you look down on me?" Song Zhiwen, the Confucian swordsman, said with a smile, "Our army has the spirit of destroying everything in this battle. Young sir is so distracted, so I have to be careful with my sword. After all, the academy and the academy belong to Confucianism, so the battlefield To determine victory or defeat, if it is a matter of life and death, it will inevitably damage the harmony."
"Confucian swordsman is quite confident." Chen Shouren looked solemn.
"If the young gentleman surrenders now, he may be able to save a little face and not lose too badly." Song Zhiwen said with a smile.
"You're dreaming!" Chen Shouren said angrily.
"I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." Song Zhiwen said, standing with his sword in hand, the scenery was bright and full of moonlight, "Return this poem to the little gentleman."
Over there, the captain of the archers at Sishui Pass was killed by random arrows. At the critical moment, Xu Guandong finally appeared in the tower and took command of the battle.
"Take up the shield men. If one of them dies, give me another one!" Xu Guandong shouted sharply, "If you are still alive, pick up the bows and arrows for me and fight back! Go to the city tower and put out a team of people to put out the fire. The main building is burned, so you don't need it. Withdrawn!"
"Got the order!!"
The two parties were already furious. The arrival of Xu Guandong finally boosted their morale. The defenders of Sishui Pass began to fight back. The two armies exchanged bows and crossbows, and the number of casualties increased sharply for a while.
"The siegemen obey the order and break open the city gate for me!!" Yang Cheng commanded the siege. "The rest of the troops set up ladders and climbed up to annihilate Zheng's army!"
"kill!!--"
The siege troops rushed forward and rushed towards the wall of Sishui Pass.
Arrows rained down on the sky, and while Yang Cheng roared angrily, an arrow flew towards him, hitting the gap in the heavy armor of the Song Army general's arm, and the arrow cluster sank directly into his arm.
"General!!"
The surrounding Song soldiers were shocked and said, "Shield bearer, protect the general!"
"Damn it, this arrow is nothing!" Yang Cheng broke the arrow with his backhand and pointed angrily at the Sishuiguan city tower, "Archers and rockets, let me shoot them all, I want this city tower to burn to ashes! !”
"Got the order!"
The shield bearer covered the archer, drew out the special feather arrows, and fired a volley.
Thick smoke rose upwards, and the rockets were like flying rainbows.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!!"
Xu Guandong saw the rocket soaring into the sky and shouted: "Block it, block it!!"
A hail of arrows was fired from the top of the city of Sishui Pass, trying to counter the rain of arrows and block the fiercely burning rockets.
Continuously firing their bows, the archers of both armies tried their best. Under the crossfire, the archers suffered heavy casualties. But as long as an archer falls, a soldier will immediately take over and fire the bow.
The archers who have survived since the beginning of the battle all have their fingers cracked and the bow strings stained with blood. They are so painful that they are numb, and they can hardly notice the existence of the hand that leads the bow.
Half of the rockets soaring into the sky were blocked by the defenders of Sishui Pass. The arrows that collided in the air destroyed each other and fell down, which caused quite a commotion among the Song troops who were charging to attack the city.
And some of the rockets that rushed through the rain of arrows and rushed towards the tower were blocked by the sword attendant Aqin, who pushed the arrows back towards the Song army.
"Damn it!" Yang Cheng was furious, "Spearman, come with the spear, see if I can crucify that little bitch alive!!"
"General!" The spearman handed the spear to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng stabbed the Xuanhua ax on the ground, and with one shot, the spear went straight to the tower and killed the girl in green!
"Be careful!" Xu Guandong was near Aqin. When he saw the spear flying up to the city gate, he blocked the spear with his sword.
The girl in green had a stern look on her face. She seemed quite surprised by Xu Guandong's sword attack. She said after a while: "I don't care, General, but I don't take such methods seriously."
Xu Guandong was speechless for a moment, and became a little angry from embarrassment.
"Damn it, what is Zhang Yan doing!?" Yang Cheng saw that he missed a hit and said angrily, "Now we have begun to attack the city. If the black fire of the abyss does not hit the city, why don't you save it for your cremation?!"
That side of Sishui.
The great eunuch Zhang Yan saw that the battle situation on the front line was already tense, and the progress of the Chinese army's crossing of the river was also under control. The leading team had already landed ashore. He waved his hand and ordered without hesitation: "Throw all the black cans into the river for me five times." Shuiguan! I want to witness with my own eyes that Sishui Pass has been reduced to a scorched earth!"
"Got the order!!"
The siege engines came into operation.
"Here we come!" At the top of the city of Sishui Pass, the sword attendant Aqin whispered, his eyes suddenly looking towards Sishui.
Hearing this, Xu Guandong's eyes froze.
Arrows rained in the sky, and the shield hand blocked the front of the two people, but the Sishui Pass guard still clearly saw the Sishui side. The rear army of the Song Army responsible for suppressing the formation launched an attack, and only saw a batch of dark jars violently Burning, it was thrown into the sky by siege equipment, and headed straight for Sishui Pass!
The momentum was so fierce that it was far stronger than the previous bombardment of eight thousand cavalry. It was about to throw those black cans into the pass and burn Sishui Pass to a scorched earth!
Xu Guandong's heart dropped.
The Song army's troops crossing the river were like locusts crossing the border.
The vanguard force had 10,000 troops, but the Chinese army had 50,000 troops!
A steady stream of troops are gathering towards the vanguard formation. But not only that, when the Chinese army crossed the river, one group of troops headed straight for the west gate under the leadership of veteran general Lu Yunshan, and another group of troops headed straight for the east gate under the leadership of general Li Feng.
The Song Army is going for a full-scale attack.
The south gate is launching a general attack. At the same time, the east gate and west gate are also launching attacks!
The Chinese army was divided, and the leading troops of the Song army were almost rushing to the gate of Sishui Pass.
"Get ready to throw rocks and logs!!" Xu Guandong shouted. For the current plan, we can only believe that the defenders at the east and west gates can block the Song Army's full attack.
The first batch of black cans have already shot up into the sky, carrying thick smoke. There are hundreds of them!
Above the sky, Chen Shouren had no choice but to take action.
Such a large amount of abyssal black fire smashed into Sishui Pass, and no one in the city could be spared! Song Zhiwen wanted to massacre the city! !
"Song Zhiwen, how can we deserve this?!" Chen Shouren said angrily, forcing Song Zhiwen back with a sword, and the nine caves behind him released majestic Qi, as if he was going to use the secret skills of the academy.
"I've long heard that the Four Friends of the Academy's Six Arts are the best in the North, so I'm honored to have a look today!" Song Zhiwen said, but he clearly had no intention of letting Chen Shouren use the secret technique, and the famous sword Nuanyu in his hand burst out with a sharp blast. The sword roared, and the sword intention of Dahe suddenly came out. It was the most powerful sword, the violent tiger Feng He!
According to legend, Song Zhiwen's grandfather Song Shenshu followed the current swordsman Li Muzhi for eight years. He tried to learn the swordsman's unique skill of "crossing the sea with a reed" to no avail, so he returned to the Song Dynasty in despair, passing by the Lancang River and watching the river. He kept running forward, suddenly realized something, and obtained the twelve swords, which was called "The Sword Intent of the Great River".
This violent tiger Feng He is the seventh sword of the Great River Sword Intent. It is a transformed sword that transcends the form of the river itself and has superior sword intent!
"Roar!!--"
As soon as the sword came out, a tiger's roar echoed out from the sky, and a water tiger formed from the vast sword energy was running ferociously, heading straight towards Chen Shouren's door!
